Today that starts to change, and we have slower safer speeds introduced into our city centre, almost all 30kph or below, not just for the 10's of thousands of people who call this place home, but for the 500,000 trips all people who share this space make walking, cycling and scooting in the city centre, every day.
There's been a whole lot of strong advocates for this, joining CCRG in getting this across the line as allies for a safer, more people-friendly city centre.
It's a very significant step in implementing the vision of the City Centre MasterPlan, and Access for Everyone, things that will enable a healthier city - cleaner air, more trees, streets we can meet people in, and linger safely in.
Good for residents, businesses, visitors, the environment and so much more. Today is the start of something new for the city centre. Ka Rawe everyone who made this happen.

This issue is packed with good reads and amazing offers from our friends and partners. We take a close look at urban farmer Freeman Farms, and visit an Auckland coastal garden that the owner waited three long decades to create as well as a Dunedin garden where they’ve grown flowers for nearly 50 years. We're still on the hunt for our Houseplant Hero, thanks to our friends at Yates and Kings Plant Barn. Nominations are now open for our 2020 Ryman Healthcare Gardener of the Year too! There’s a feature on walnut growers in NZ, highlights of new roses coming out this year and of course, details on how to get yourself $20 worth of free bulbs from NZ Bulbs.
Hi Neighbours, Not being able to water the garden might not matter in winter, but current drought-related restrictions will step-up if there's not a lot of rain. How will you be affected? Read the story below:

This is a free event which will be held on Saturday 18 July in the St Mary’s College Cecilia Maher Hall here at 11 New Street, Ponsonby, Auckland.
The aim of the Talanoa is to provide support for young people to help them thrive at school and within their families and communities. There will be wonderful guest speakers including past pupils Lupesina Koro and Nele Kalolo, as well as food and entertainment.
As this is our first Talanoa, we are in need of a small amount of financial support to help us bring it all together. If you can help in any small way please email jsheehan@stmaryak.school.nz
We will also provide great recognition for your support both pre and post-event.
